Alex was very knowledgeable and eager to answer all of our questions. He was personable and we enjoyed his humor. We would him as a private tour guide in Capetown.

We took this tour with Rubin as our guide and he was excellent. The Robben Island trip was taken without him although he pre-booked the tickets and made sure we got on the boat ok, but from then on it was a whirlwind tour. He was able to get us onto the cable car without any delays, as everyone seems to know him. We were lucky with the weather, which was perfect, so we had fantastic views from the mountain and then he gave us a fabulous city tour until it was dark. He took lots of photos of my husband and I, so we have a great record of the day. I couldn't believe how many sights we saw and Rubin went the extra mile to make sure we didn't miss anything. This was a great tour, not least because it was private, with just two of us as guests. It was great not having to worry about anyone else. I thoroughly recommend this tour and especially Rubin as a guide.

Ruben is a great tour guide due to weather conditions we had to change the tour. We have seen so many nice places and received a lot historic information. He is very helpful and he makes sure you are comfortable during the tour. He even reserved a restaurant in a short noticed so we could enjoyed our lunch together.
